About Robin P. Steely, DDS
As long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a dentist. I believe that some people are called into a profession rather than just taking a job. I am one of those people. My approach to dentistry is holistically inclined healing. In a spiritual context, the term healer is typically applied to Jesus. He has been called the great physician. He was followed by people that may have had little idea of His ministry, but could make the lame walk, the blind see, the deaf hear. My world view and faith tells me, that in its simplest form, that is what I am called to be. What is a healer? It is about setting up the environment for health, wellness and change. It is about living my life according to my values – listening carefully to people, entering into relationships with them, opening our minds, our hands, and our hearts. It is about the freedom to live joyfully, peacefully and lovingly. It is the place where you enter someone’s life and experience the joy with them as they make choices that transform their lives. I believe in using the gifts that I have been given to help improve the lives of others and lead them to a healthier future. It has been said that “first you get the skills in your head, then you get them in your hands, but they don’t become alive until you get them in your heart.” I am a holistically inclined, wellness-centered dentist because it is in my heart. To share that passion and belief, I continue to train myself both technically and behaviorally. Dentistry is a behavioral science that blends art, technology, and science with psychology and humanity.
